Bible Verse
“For all have sinned,
and fall short of the glory of God.”
(Romans 3:23)
SIN/MAN
Game #3: Long Jump to Jesus
|
The children stand at the line you have drawn in the dirt or marked on the floor and are instructed to jump to the person dressed as Jesus in a white sheet with a blue sash and a yellow Jesus crown. (Ensuring ‘Jesus’ is far enough away that it is impossible to reach in one jump. ) As they try to jump but fail the Teacher reminds them that we all fall short of God's glory in the same way they fall short of the mark. “For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23) We all sin, and cannot save ourselves. |
At the end of
Game3 the child is given a little Bible verse to take with
them as their reward this verse has a boy long jumping to
remind the child of the game they just played. |
OPTIONAL:
Bondage of Sin skit
3 children involved in this skit or Teacher and 2 children.
Child 1: “What
is sin? Sin is anything we think, say, do or do not do that displeases
God. Sin blinds us from the truth, sin stops us from hearing God."
A black cloth covers child 2’s ears, he cups his ears as though he is deaf. |
Child 1: "Sin binds us, trips us up , and eventually will kill us. Remember ‘the wages of sin is death’."
